🛠 Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• mcp ≥ 1.0
• httpx ≥ 0.27
• Internet access (CoinGecko API)
• No API key required (uses free public CoinGecko API)

🌐 API Dependencies

This server uses the CoinGecko free API:

• Rate limit: ~30 calls/minute (free tier)
• No registration needed — works out of the box
• No API key required for public endpoints

If you need higher rate limits, consider using a CoinGecko API key with the x_cg_demo_api_key header (modify the _request function in __init__.py).
